Turkish Airlines Rolls Out Faster Inflight Wi-Fi with AI-Powered Upgrades

Turkish Airlines is upgrading its inflight Wi-Fi across over 100 narrow-body aircraft. The airline has partnered with Anuvu to install its Dedicated Space technology, promising faster and more reliable connections. The first phase has already rolled out on 65 planes, with full completion expected by April 2026. Anuvu's Dedicated Space system uses AI to manage network traffic efficiently. This allows airlines to allocate bandwidth based on each aircraft's specific requirements. The upgrade also includes Anuvu's latest Modman-D modem, designed to enhance performance.

Early results show a major improvement in service quality. Passengers now experience a nine-fold increase in data throughput, upload speeds four times faster, and a 25% reduction in latency. These changes aim to provide smoother streaming, quicker downloads, and more stable connections during flights.

Levent Konukcu, Turkish Airlines' Chief Investment & Strategy Officer, highlighted the benefits of the new technology. He noted that Dedicated Space significantly boosts both the reliability and performance of inflight connectivity. Josh Marks, Anuvu's CEO, also emphasised that the upgrade will deliver a far better Wi-Fi experience for travellers.

The project began with 65 aircraft already equipped with the new system. Turkish Airlines plans to extend the technology across its entire narrow-body fleet in the coming months. The upgrade marks a substantial step forward for Turkish Airlines' inflight services. With faster speeds, lower latency, and AI-driven network management, passengers can expect a more consistent online experience. The full rollout is set to finish by April 2026, covering all targeted narrow-body planes.
